  1. I just looked at Nam's site. The prices are a year old but given things haven't changed much, she quotes a sedan from Swampy to Pattaya as 1200 baht. What do the taxis charge? Do either, both or neither charge for tolls? I am leaning toward hiring Nam's service next trip.
  2. Why? The cost is about the same so it must be features. I know nothing about either.
  3. Will do! I need a new watch. Their top of the line is $160 on Amazon!
  4. Guys. They did the angiogram and although I have some buildup of plaque on the artery walls, they said I was not a candidate for a stent. Graymatter. They prepped my groin but they went in through my right wrist. This doctor is among the few I think using this technique. It speeds up recovery I was told. They said sometimes with the wrist method they can't turn a corner and the fallback is the groin. So, why am I feeling shitty? Why the bad palpitations? Why a stress test which showed an occluded artery? When I move north Tuesday I will have to find another cardiologist. More questi
  5. Getting an angiogram and likely stent today. I hope it works. I have been feeling crumby for weeks. A chemical stress test scan showed a partial blockage in one ventrical artery under stress. It better work. I am moving out of state Tuesday.
  6. The dollar against the baht is low the last I checked so it is quite a deal to ride the distance you suggest for under a dollar at most.
  7. Thanks! I didn't see it on the web page.
  8. I have a separate account in not my main bank with a separate debit card for emergencies. And of course I put this in the wrong section.
  9. Thanks to both you and Jacko for the info. It has been 15+ years since my first trip and baht busses cost the same. I have no idea how the make money but pleased to see stable prices. I have no problem giving 20. With my old knees it is worth it. I will look into Grab App but I have issues with Uber and cc. At least there you pay cash. Only been almost killed once in Pattaya on a motorcycle taxi. On a night drinking on WS and not wanting to wait for baht busses to fill up (not to mention ladyboys on Soi Diana), MS taxis are better than walking or waiting. The passenger helmets are su
  10. In one week I get an angiogram and a stent. I don't expect it will affect any trip as it is a 24 hour recovery. As to you, it isn't math, just simple arithmetic but I don't keep count and I am not sure of the motives of those who do.
  11. What is the current cost for baht bus? Please include route served. What is the cost for a motorcycle taxi? I used to negotiate. Is Nam's the best service to and from Swampy? I am thinking of a dual hotel trip on opposite ends of Pattaya. I don't have a lot of baggage but enough and configuration to think that a motorcycle taxi is the wrong choice (and baht bus the really wrong choice) to transport me and my belongings from/to. Thinking a decade back, I do not recall seeing actual taxis in Pattaya...Bangkok of course. Motorcycle taxis and baht busses but not taxis in Pattaya b
  12. Any idea when the stadium will be finished. The NFL game was the third of three so the field should improve but Spurs have underachieved at Wembley and not just this year.
  13. Man U (Pogba) got a penalty kick on a play that looked like ball clearly first. Instant replay?
  14. Perhaps my favorite Genesis song Is it Phil Collins or a drum machine or both? "The drum machine parts that I write tend to have character. they influence the way the song goes. It's as important to the song as the bass part or keyboard part. It's not just a rhythm machine pattern for some guy to come along and show off to." Phil Collins
  15. A remix and imho a better version than the original. Vocals by Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins
